While the truth buried with the names ofthe slain, Leaving the youth no options for expressing sexuality. From her perfectly maintained mane stemming from the roots, Fighting dehydration from lack ofnourishment. To the facial art work so intricate sometimes birthing mutes, Those lacking intellectual encouragement. From the low cut this to the high slit that, Revealing more about herselfthan ever conceived. To the painful stilettos, yet keep the image intact. Only literal elevation is what should be believed. The facial expressions ofone held captive, Though others may not see but they are merely eyeing. No change on the horizon, no one daring to be proactive, So she poses, ignorant to her denying why she's crying, yet slowly dying. The Out ofBody Photograph Barry Polak 4 P'an Ku
